Taxman files to force further Signature business under
HMRC has applied to the High Court to force Signature Living Apartments Limited into administration.
The application by HMRC marks another business going to the wall in the complex collapse of the hotel and hospitality business operated by Lawrence Kenwright.
TheBusinessDesk.com has reported widely since administrators were appointed in April 2020 to run the businesses after debts piled up in the Liverpool-based leisure operator which operated the premises including The Shankly Hotel, the Dixie Dean Hotel and Rainhill Hall.
Most recent estimates put the total debts of the various Signature ventures at £56m.
However, the last accounts filed for Signature Living Apartments Limited were micro company accounts for the financial years ending June 2019 and 2020, filed on the same day in May 2021.
An attempt was made to dissolve the business and strike it off in September 2022, but an objection to this was filed in the High Court in October 2022.
The directors of the business are Lawrence Kenwright and Katie Kenwright and the entity with significant control is listed as Signature Living Hotels Limited at the address of administrators Duff and Phelps.
